As one of your loyal constituents, a wildlife enthusiast and an American concerned with the future of my country, I strongly urge you to defend, strengthen and pass the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) to safeguard our communities and our natural world for generations to come.
Clean energy is a win-win-win proposition: good for the economy, good for the environment (which is in desperate peril right now due to global warming) and good for national security by reducing our dependence on oil obtained from nations that might not have our best interests at heart.
This issue is probably the most important to me out of all the challenges facing America right now, and my votes all the way up and down the ticket will go to those candidates who strongly support clean energy in our communities and our nation. Sadly, that support is difficult to detect sometimes, but with your leadership, we can make clean energy a priority where it counts -- in our own backyards.
Well, in the expected course of things, yes. But if the company goes broke, it doesn't pay back the loan; it can't, it doesn't have the money any more. That's what going broke _is_. Given the circumstances around the bankruptcy of a lot of the companies Jeff lists, it seems unlikely that they were able to repay much of the money they were loaned. It's only a good investment to loan money to a company if the company survives and makes enough profit to pay you back...
